{Crab and avocado tropical appetizer.}

If you want to make fancy appetizer recipes, this one is definitely going to impress your guests. This crab appetizer is suitable for a dinner party and you can make it in advance and keep it in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. These crab meat appetizers can be made with fresh crab or canned crab. If you prefer to use canned crab, spread it over a baking sheet and warm it for a minute in a 350 degrees F oven. Any tiny pieces of shell will turn white so you can see them and pick them out.
